I know it's tough to look on the bright-side, but consider this.
You're in your mid-30s, no house, no car, no wife and experience in one of the most saught after and well paying professions in the world! Nothing holding you back from living the dream.
You've got money coming in from your consulting gig, but maybe that isn't what you want to do. You've got a good grasp of the english language, but you mention 'nothing put away for medical', so I assume you're in the USA. I'm also assuming, since you're on HackerNews, that you're interested in start-ups and working on cool tech.
I've got many friends from different parts of the world who would die to be in your shoes. If I wanted to move to the US, I'd be dying to be in your shoes too.
If you're not in one of the tech-hubs now, why not move? It costs too much to move? Companies will pay your moving expensive. Moving to a new city is hard? You bet it is, I've done it twice in the last two years, but what have you got to loose. You can be miserable where you are, or miserable somewhere else.
